Matt Pietrek – The Cocktail Wonk

The Cocktail Wonk – Matt Pietrek
Matt runs a fantastic website that is more than just rum and as he puts it ‘a unique take on spirits and craft cocktails.’ With a passion for most things drinks related and a massive list of professional highlights (which can be seen here) you’d be mad not to take a look at the great work he does.

Doctor Bird (Two James Distillery)
A funky Jamaican release from Worthy Park. It’s a blend of aged and high-ester unaged rums. It is also very reasonably priced. Finally, at 100 proof, it’s a reasonable alternative to Smith & Cross.

Compagnie des Indes New Yarmouth 12
Sourced from the other Wray & Nephew distillery that no one knows about, and rarely seen in independent bottlings. This release proves that Long Pond and Hampden aren’t the only Jamaican distilleries that know the super-high ester game.

Appleton Estate Joy
A beautiful rum with a 25 year minimum age celebrating the legacy of Master Blender Joy Spence.

From 4pm till 10pm (BST) we will be hosting The World’s First European Online Rum Festival where presenters from many brands will be joining us for their allocated time slots to speak about their rums… https://t.co/TFeRe21q1C
